The Banana Peel Fertilizer Trick That Made My Basil Explode With Growth

Refill the jug

Add new banana peels

Let it soak again

Repeat

As the peels turn brown and soft, I remove them and replace with fresh ones.

It’s like an endless supply of organic plant food.

🌸 Flowers
🥬 Vegetables

And the results?

My basil is thick and bursting with leaves

My dill is waist-high

Does It Need Refrigeration?
No.

You do NOT need to refrigerate banana peel water.

Just keep it in a cool spot away from direct sunlight and refresh it every few days.

If it smells sour, dump it and make a new batch.

It should smell mild and earthy — not rotten.
